Anyone ever fished the Goodbear Bay area near Garrison, ND? A freind booked a place and I am trying to get some idea of what to expect as far as necessary equipment for the drive. Thanks, Jeff

just found out someone in our group has a record and worried about getting across the border... Anyone know what the guidelines are on this? He is talking to a lawyer about it and it's starting to look like he may not be able to come along... Anyway, I thought I'd see what I can find out... I...

I had my first ever chance at snagging some Spoonbills today!! This past Summer the Missouri River flooded.........BIG TIME!! As the flood waters receded, fish got stranded. I went to Snyder Bend Park(south of Sioux City, IA) to see what I could find. "Snyder Bend" was part of the Mighty MO at one...

I just got back from spending 4 days fishing the Missouri river in Mandan, ND for the FLW championship. All I can see is this fishery is strong and will be for years to come. We caught at least 70 fish a day with many in the 14"-18" range. Fish were caught trolling cranks, hand lining, jig/minnow...

I had a fun time fishing with Dad this past Father's Day weekend. We started on Storm Lake Friday evening and didn't do the best. We picked up a few small 'eyes, had one keeper and lost another one at the boat that would have made the cut. Dad caught the keeper on #5 Purple Perch Shad Rap behind a...

Does anyone know or have family that lives near Williston? I have a friend that is looking for a place to stay because he is heading up there for a job for about a month. He has tried hotels, motels, camp grounds and everything is full. He said that he would pull up a 5 wheel camper even but he can...

Headed over to WI this weekend with Puzzler. Uncle Smash was trying to join us but since he had a Muskie tourney this weekend he had to put some time in at home. Saturday was a great day of fishing and of course we would not have the camera in the boat. We first started for Walleyes in the...

The night bite on West Okoboji was good to a few of us again this past weekend. We had to dodge some trashy weather but over two nights we managed to keep 8 'eyes and a few nice white bass. We also released one slot fish that went 19", a decent little smallie that was up late and one nice walleye...

I am taking my family to Castle Rock. I wouldlike to put my boy on some walleyes. Anyone have any advise, we will be there June 17-24.

We fished the IGL Walleye Opener May 6th-8th. My usual crew was a few members short this year. IAriverrat missed out due to his daughter's first dance recital:D My Dad missed out due to field work being behind after a cold, wet Spring in our area. My Uncle had an open spot in his boat and he was...

I'm heading up to the cabin this afternoon to fish crappie through Friday and then Smash some walleye after midnight! Good luck to all hitting the WI opener! :bigbeer:

I took the week off with my son for spring break. Went skiing for a few days and than crappie hunting to our place in WI. It took a while to find agressive crappies, but we did. Kept our limit of 10 to 12" inchers. My son had a blast and we had great week. Of course I brought everything...

I fished Bacon Creek in Sioux City today in hopes of finding some gills, crappies and catfish through the ice. I ended up doing quite well on some trout that had been stocked earlier this year in January. I didn't know about the trout stocking until after I caught my first ones and did some quick...

Pretty slow for me on Big Spirit Saturday afternoon. I tagged 1 nice 11" perch on a Lindy Flyer and then I got my a$$ stuck trying to get off of the lake. 2 MN guys parked their permy on shore and came back out to get me. They wouldn't take anything for pay......ACES in my book. All he said was...

There is a decent Perch bite going at Lizard Lake(Southwest of Gilmore City) right now. You'll have to do some sorting but you'll find some 9-12" fish that will make it worth it. It was pretty busy out there this weekend, I counted at least 58 trucks on the ice Saturday and 35 today. Lizard is only...

I fished Brushy Creek Saturday afternoon from 2:00-9:00 PM. I went out from the north ramp and was able to drive the truck out. I had 18" of good ice and about 6-8" of snow on top. I started on a clump of trees in 17 FOW and punched a few holes. The first couple holes were quiet and then I hit one...

The wife has decided that this coming summer, we are taking a trip out to Lake Michigan to do some salmon fishing. I tried to talk some sense into her, but after 3 or 4 seconds, I caved in and let her have her way. Anyway, we are leaning towards going either out of Algoma or Sheboygan, but I am...

We spent a long weekend with family at my aunt and uncle's cabin in NW Wisconsin. We had really nice weather and had a really good time. The cabin is on a small natural lake and this is only the second time we have been to the this lake. The fishing was good with with more quality sized bass...

Any suggestions on lakes near Spooner? Heading out to pick my son up from a Hockey camp out there and plan to spend a day or two fishing the area. Thanks -
